Responsibilities
As a Principal NPI Program Manager, you will own the operational engine that moves Axon's products from concept to commercialization.
From the moment a product team submits a new SKU request to the moment it is live in the price book and available to quote, you are the cross-functional orchestrator - working in lockstep with Product, Finance/FP&A, Commercial Operations (Quoting), Supply Chain, Operations, Legal, and IT.
You will design, operate, and continuously improve the NPI process - bringing discipline, transparency, and velocity to a function that sits at the intersection of product strategy and commercial execution.
You will work on issues that shape the design and selling success of Axon's products, and influence senior and executive leadership across functional areas.
